On Long Island a kid that is born Sept 1 , 2002 that plays in the 2021 year is a holdback but proper age in most other states including Md and Pa. most of The Long Island kids born before 12/1 will be playing 2020 not 2021. So on Long Island many kids born Sept 2003 are playing on 2020 teams and won't play down on a 2021 team. Igloo could have moved younger kids on the 2020 team to play on the WSYL to improve the 2021 team but did not. Most will not do that. It disrupts the team and the kids don't want to play down. Legacy chose to move those kids down and destroyed everyone. So you are right that age based is normally a fair measure but for a one weekend tournament the long Island teams and kids won't play 2021 when they are 2020 giving the other state teams a chance to win with older kids.
If a kid is born 9/2/2003 in NY and another born 9/2/2003 in MD they are the same I am confused by the argument ......You can't be a holdback in an age based tournament .... Grade don't matter its the age that matters if your kid is in 10th grade and 13 what's the difference from the kid who 13 and in 7th grade? I am so confused by this argument .... don't even make sense AGE IS AGE
